Answer:

The substance can be best classified as a molecular substance

Explanation:

The given information are;

The physical state of the substance at 25°C = Solid state

The physical state of the substance at 150°C = Molten

Molecular substances are those with bonds formed by electron sharing among the constituent atoms and they contain a few number of atoms per molecule. Molecular compounds with molecular weight less than 100, usually exist as liquids or gases at room temperature, while those with molecular weights over 100 can be found in a solid state at room temperature.

Generally, molecular compounds are usually volatile and have a melting point less than 300°C

Therefore, the substance can be best classified as a molecular substance.

Why does an atom of 23NA have 23 electrons
Julli [10]
It is actually something standardized more so than theoretical,  however in terms of atoms in general the electrons are based on the amount of  electronic shells that an atom has and the amount of electrons that atom can accommodate.  In the case of sodium, it has three shells with 2 electrons on the first shell which is the maximum, 8 on the second shell which is also the max and 1 on their final shell
So simply put an ATOM of Sodium (Na) has 23 electrons because it has 23 protons which is a fact

Define the law of conservation of charge and provide an example.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Conservation of Charge is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a
kykrilka [37]
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.

The molecular weight of vitamin C , C6H8O6 is 176.12 grams over mol
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0250 g.

Explanation:

∵ no. of moles (n) = mass / molar mass.

<em>∴ mass of Vitamine C = (n)(molar mass)</em> = (0.000142 mol)(176.12 g/mol) = 0.02501 g = <em>0.0250 g. "three significant figures"</em>
